Masopher's Mind

Back in Uni life wasn’t tweetable and the only friends I had were the ones that sat with me on the hill overlooking the campus. We “liked” video games girls gym and the thought of graduating all things that were in front of us.
The Internet existed but we used it for stealing music looking at bios of our favourite musician. I remember during the days of Notoriuos Big I did a yahoo search (not google!) for bad boy( as in badboy entertainment, the home of puff daddy ma$e qnd the notorious big) and finding myself on a gay porn site. I discovered there and then that porn was a very easy thing to find even when you aren’t looking.
Email existed but we used it for receiving lecture notes and stalking girls, many of whom used emails for non stalking or lecture purposes.
The Internet was also there for looking up facts to help me write papers, look for games pictures fonts and icons to “pimp” my computer.
The Internet remained for some time a means to enhance my techno-philic life. That is until I discovered online communities. My first experience with online community was yahoo chat which was a mix of text and audio chat rooms. I never had “friends” but there were familiar names including the likes of Mr Pregnant. People talked about a lot of stuff. Sexuality, sex, relationships, jokes…actually that’s pretty much all there was. After a few months I drifted away from online communities and back to my first loves video games and girls in that order.
And that’s pretty much how it stayed until my second love jealously banned my first. All my girlfriends hated my Internet gaming and in the end the need for a real life companionship outweighed my need for kicking pixellated ass.
I’ve been using the internet for more than 1.5 decades now, I am reintroduced to online communities. I use the Internet for research and news but for lolz as well. I have friends and followers in the Internet sense of the words but music and video games play very little part in my life. There is still the gym though.

It’s surreal. Speaking from the perspective of a 30+ year-old male with a girlfriend making triple his salary and who eagerly awaits the new Vivendi Blizzard video game releases, I have a lot of evidence of man’s tertiary role in society. Tertiary ? Yes, third place to the upper crust of males still coasting along on patriarchal victories and now behind our very own women. There is politics but that’s for old men and the womanish.

Living vicareously through Jim Raynor, Gerard Butler and Brad Pitt, guys like me seem to be litterally twiddling our thumbs as women take the dominant role. We know we aren’t men anymore and that’s why a bearded man bellowing or guys pummelling each other or enacting the plot to bring down “the man” appeals to us so much. At least in our heads we are reclaiming the part that existed when the world was savage and there was something noble worth fighting for. Now we can only dream of a world to conquer or a fight to win. But in truth, we are the conquered, we have lost the fight without ever having the chance to defend ourselves.

We are not needed anymore. What needed to be built has been built including the machines that replaced us. All that needs to be explored has been explored including our limitations. What needed to be killed was killed until we tamed it. What we have started cannot be stopped even if men were to dissapear this very instant.

We cannot compete in a soft society, we cannot be more passive agressive or clique-ish than our female counterparts even though many of us do try. We have millenia of a brutish short simple existence to put behind us before we can handle this still brutish but long complex one. Who would have imagined that the little food cooking, baby makers we left behind in the caves would inherit the world we tamed? No man did because we didn’t think.

My simple mind yearns for the choices that my ancestor, Uggh Pointyrock faced. Is it a threat or is it food? If neither then ignore. Nowadays, threats are silent creeping and only kill the soul. Food is unrecognisable, unhealthy and doesn’t have to be killed. Ignorance is not bliss. I have a million choices and they all lead nowhere. Even if there is a small chance that one might give me another million choices I have to keep up this astounding roulette game so that one day, if I keep getting it right it might lead me to an even more surreal existence.

On the morning of April 1st 2008 Masopher was on crack and decided to tell me the secret to how the universe was born. And he isn’t talking about any bullshit creation story with some guy parting the firmament, he’s talking the real deal. Einstein and Edison, Newton and Hawking stuff.

He’s not a mathematician or a physicist so how did he know this? Because:
A) He’s was on crack even though I wasn’t
B) He’s a fully developed independent figment of my imagination
C) He’s a demon and in touch with the peoples who know
D) He was there
E) He’s not a mathematician or a physicist

So here it goes I relate it as he did to me:
It all starts in a universe consisting of a single particle of matter. Before that was null. Less than nothing, not a negative but not nothing either…just not.

And then there was. But not light, or maybe it was light whatever it was it was part particle part wave. It wasn’t like no monster, not like a chimera, it just acted like both particle and wave. And there was also its opposite: The anti-light anti-particle anti-wave. They had to be born together because that’s the way it works see, there has to be a balance because in before the beginning at the beginning all through and at the end and after the end it all balances out like a mathematical equation.

It’s like this see…
+1 +(-1) = 0
Look here a second…notice I have to use plus one plus minus one because if it was plus one minus minus one you get 2…that’s maybe one of the reasons that antimatter don’t act like matter.
See +1- (-1) =0
+1+1=0
+2 = 0
See its wrong…

Back on track now:
1-1 = 0
1 = 1
1×800 = 1×800
Universe = Universe
Universe –Universe = 0

But don’t let the zero fool you, null was a real zero not the pansy that’s in mathematics nowadays.
So in the very center of the null which could be anywhere because its nowhere there is this pair of things (the thing and its nullifier) but because they are wave/particles in the way that physicists know them they have a chance of being anywhere in the null void with the strongest chance of being right there in the center. It’s like gravity, dig, it all streams towards the middle the chance of anything being anywhere is in the middle with a good chance of it being somewhere else but the chance gets stronger the closer one gets to where the 2 particles were born in the first place.
But maybe you are like: hold up there crack smoking Masopher, they had an equal chance of being born anywhere in null, and He’d tell you yep, but once they were there the chance of them being there increased a whole hell of a lot in the locality where they first occurred.
And it was the chance of things being there that was the beginning of gravity. Far away, chances small, near chances great..sound familiar? Far away gravity small nearer gravity great… so gravity also was derived from…mathematical probability.
So now we not only have particles and anti particles but we have forces and that just really fucks up all of the null void. The null void likes being null so it tries to compensate dig. It tries to get rid of the particles and the force by creating opposite particles and opposite forces. Its not a concious decision like a dude, its like an equation, or a computer program or a robot.
It’s like those big weird multiline equations that end up to be zero and you add or do a hell of a lot of work just to get all those x’s and ys and numbers back to zero…and back at school the teacher wasn’t on crack so even though Masopher is on crack, he’s a demon who knows his shit.
And it just gets worse. The more particles created the more things get all fucked up. And the anti particles don’t behave like particles I dunno why man that’s just the way it is, ask a real mathematician or physicist. See up the page and you see why antimatter don’t act like matter because two antimatters act like matter maybe? maybe half the matter in teh universe isnt matter at all just antimatter disguised….I dunno.
So all these particles are being born (and antiparticles too, but they fuck off out of my story) and they are all fixed around this point, the beginning of the universe point cuz they got nowhere else to go and they are being pushed and pulled away to make room for the new particles being born and its getting tight because these particles are being born and born and born because the equation is trying to balance until they just start say, fuck it, this place is crowded, statistically you and I can’t be at the same place at the same time and statistically I can be somewhere else quite comfortably. So matter starts buggering off too. Maybe some antimatter buggered off as well in the same way because statistically if matter and antimatter are same place same time they would be null but I already told you that null is no more didn’t I?
So this matter, these particles waves are still trying to nullify because that’s what the equation is always trying to do balance, so positive matter and negative matter start trying to hook up, but positive matter and negative matter aren’t the real partners see, photons are supposed to hook up with anti-photons and electrons are supposed to hook up with positrons but they can’t really nullify see because anti-photons and positrons are all buggering off. they form neutral charges but not neutral mass. So its love the one you are with, (dig?), and Hydrogen ions and atoms start forming. And the hydrogen ions start smashing into one another and they fuck things up even more because they become helium atoms and it just gets worse and worse until you got like atoms that are giganormous with some major mass and electric charge and low inertia cuz they so big and fat, dig? And Hydrogen still trying to get together to try nullify but they start creating more energy in the form of heat and light which wasn’t around before but now it is, all the other elements that are being born and that gives some elements enough energy to form even bigger and crazier atoms and elements. And now even though everyone wants to get back to null it’s just fucked up because even if the matter meets antimatter, antimatter is only made up of anti photons and positrons, ain’t no anti gold or anti carbon to handle all these new matter that hydrogen done made, and there ain’t no anti light and anti heat to counteract this new energy that is being created. Lawd and we don’t even talk about the lack of anti radiation and anti energy to counteract the radiation from those unstable elements and them suns that are spinning. And the rest is history.
It all makes perfect sense to a crack smoking demonic figure of my imagination so why shouldn’t it make sense to you?
